Genuine Apec · Part no. A2025L

Apec 15W-40 is a multigrade engine oil in a 5 litre pack for petrol and diesel engines whose handbook allows a 15W-40. It is built to stay stable when the engine runs hot and to keep sludge down in stop-go town use, and it lists ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4, API SL/CF, MB 229.1 and VW 505 00.

Good to know

Is a 15W-40 right for my car? Only if the handbook gives it. In 5W-30 the first figure with the W is how easily the oil flows from cold; the second is its thickness at running temperature. So a 15W oil is slower to flow on a cold start than a 5W one.
Does it suit a VW? The only VW approval it lists is 505 00. In VW's numbering, 502 00 is a petrol specification and 505 00 a diesel one. VW engines on the LongLife service schedule ask for VW 504 00 / 507 00, not 502 00 / 505 00.
What about a diesel with a particulate filter? Ash from a full-ash oil builds up in a particulate filter, so it is the wrong oil where the handbook asks for a low-ash C grade. Its A3/B4 rating makes it a full-ash oil.

Which one?

For a full-ash grade that also lists the VW petrol approval 502 00, see the Apec 10W40 SS (A2115L). Other 15W-40 oils in our range are the Mobil Super 1000 X1 15W40 (157307) and the Comma X-Flow Type MF 15W-40 (XFMF5L).
